Is Tibet Travel Closed from Oct.18 to Oct.28 2017?

Foreign travelers are asking whether they can travel to Tibet in October 2017. Well the local tourism bureau had announced an unofficial notice to all travel agencies that foreign travelers can not travel in Tibet between Oct.18 and Oct.28 in 2017. This temporal closure of Tibet is due to the upcoming Beijing GOV meeting-the 19th national party congress meeting. So Tibet faces another sensitive travel time again. This is fairly normal during the sensitive political climate. Nobody can be sure whether there is more closure announcement or not.
